Pros

- Tremendous work/life balance and fully remote - Pay is ok (considering no stock) and good benefits - Very kind employees

Cons

Mozilla simply isn't relevant anymore and I'm not sure anyone cares about them being the champions of an open Internet. Firefox is the only real product and it's dying more each day with remaining share in the low single digits. All of the remaining products are meaningless. It's impossibly slow and difficult to get anything done. Building the smallest feature takes forever. There's ZERO sense of urgency at all since many of the employees have been here a long time and happy with the status quo. 100% dependent on revenue from Google. Absolutely zero product vision or strategy and a constant churn of leadership, especially on the Product side. Plus some seriously micro-managing leaders and others that have risen up the ranks due to tenure rather than merit. A sinking ship. Performance management and career conversations don't exist.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
